Building Use Policy

General Information

We want to use our facilities for benefit of the community. Priority will be given as follows:

Church services, rehearsals, ministry groups

Church members

Outside groups

Expectations of users in our facilities:

Smoking, alcoholic beverages, illegal substances, and weapons are not permitted.

Children are to be under strict control of parents at all times.

Users are expected to leave the building reasonably clean and in the same condition it was prior to the event. The user will be responsible for damage done to church property.

Users are prohibited from using any musical and sound/AV equipment without prior approval of Music Director, Administrator or Senior Pastor.

Please use recyclable materials whenever possible.

Funerals will always take precedence over scheduled room usage.

All decorations must be in accordance with city fire and safety regulations. Please remove decorations immediately following your event unless agreed upon in advance with the church office.

Non-Church sponsored events that are supported by church members:

The church member that is coordinating the event will take primary responsibility and accountability for all facility operations. While our automated systems for HVAC and Door Lock will be employed, there are other facility considerations which the member will be accountable for:

All exit doors secured – Education wing as well as primary entrance. If the crash bars are “locked open” you must release the crash bars to secure the building

All lights must be turned off

Must return all furniture to the condition and placement you found it (The church may provide room set-up support if documented on the Event Information Form)

AV Support fees may be assessed – Contact the Office Supervisor or Administrator for specifics

Outside Groups that have no church member support:

All users of our building are subject to the above minimum expectations. In addition, a fee structure will be based on event time and space usage.

To Reserve Space

Please complete an Event Request Form. If your event requires detailed room setup, please complete a hard copy form and include a detailed sketch of your requested room set-up. Please provide as much detail as possible on the form to assist us in adequately preparing for your event. We use some of this information to make sure the building is unlocked and to pre-program the thermostats in the building for your event.

Please note that submitting this form does not guarantee that your event will be scheduled. This form is a convenient tool that helps you communicate your request to the staff. The final decision on scheduling events is still overseen by the office staff. You will be contacted if there is any reason your event will not be able to be scheduled as requested.

We pre-program HVAC for your event. Please be sure to include an “end time” to your event.
